Ive previously had 4.41 loaded and working on an asp hosted site. i wanted to do a clean install of dnn 4.8.

I downloaded the install pack and uploaded the folders using cute ftp overwriting the files and folers that were already there. i then edited my web.config and went to the site and the install page loaded.

To my surprise it remebered some of my previous info such as company name, aslo my host and admin account dont work with the default passwords which i undersatnd change in 4.8 to host/dnnhost instead of host/host.

So im looking for a way to do a complete clean install, can anyone help.

Many Thanks

The other half of a DNN site is the database... your new site is presumably looking at the old one. You will need to create a new blank database and point the web config to that... only then start the installation. Best to wipe everything and start from scratch.

As Rob mentioned I would clear out your hosting space entirely THEN to the install, this means clean database and file system before you start.

I have a tutorial about doing a remote installation of DNN available on my blog site http://www.mitchelsellers.com
